Do you use it to staple Rog's ears to the floor if he says 'lady'?

Only in a situation where he wouldn't say 'gentleman' to man ;-)

With this sort of stapler, if used without caution, isn't there the
possibility of the staple crushing the coax, and lowering its impedance
at that point? If so, then on long runs, if the stapling is done
'neatly' at regular intervals, there is some possibility of producing a
suck outs.
See my original suggestions for the mode d'emploi.

You're firm but fair, I'll grant you that. By the way, have you ever
thought of going into the BDSM business? You have the electric staple
gun; so why not?

Sounds like a volunteer to me !!!!!!

In use tilt the gun forward slightly, then as you pull the trigger
tilt back. This is so the cable isn't deformed. Tilting forward is so
the staple doesn't go into the cable.

Hey, Bill, sorry but could you explain this one again? I haven't quite
got what happens / why it works when you do the tilting back and forth
thing.

Thanks.

Well when you're positioning the gun over the cable you need the front
of it well down so there's less chance of the staple going into the
cable. But then as you pull the trigger you can tilt back a bit. That
tends to bring the cable back with the gun, but also restricts the depth
the stable penetrates the wood and thus reduces cable deforming. This
seems to work with 6mm to 6.5mm cables, but not smaller ones. It's very
much a case of experimenting because a lot depends on the type of cable
and the hardness of the wood.

With practice it's possible to do really nice neat work with these guns.

Bill

Ah, OK. Thanks, Bill.
